Ankle joint injury requires restrction of movement to prevent laxity of ligaments which produces swelling. Ankle stirrup braces can be worn which can be used when walking. Ice application - immersion in a basin filled with cold water and ice cubes helps in healing. Overnight dressing with well stirred glycerine magnesium sulphate paste with guaze rolls will help in faster recovery. Consult your Physiotherapist if symptoms persists.
Health Tips
Limit mobility and have sufficient rest. Raise the leg over a pillow placed lengthwise supporting knee and another placed across at foot when on bed.
